My daughter (who is a professional broadcast cameraperson) came to Bangkok from UK on Emirates via Dubai and was told at london LHR check in to remove all drone batteries and put them in her carry on bag and Dubai was "no problem" - She took two (in fireproof cases) and put them in her carry on bag and left one in the drone as per the regs and - of course - at Dubai they took them off her despite loud protestations. Last month I had a roll of gaffer tape removed too at Dubai. 2) She complained to Emirates staff at Dubai and was basically told to piss off, then it got even worse. At Bangkok the third bag with spares drone (DJI P3) that cost 400 pounds extra baggage to transport didnt turn up. It came a day later, on opening it we found the drone missing and controller, HDMI to SDI converter, cables and a bunch of adult diapers we use for packing - all gone!!. So if you are in Dubai transiting and you see a goatherder on a camel running around with a P3 drone and a nappy (diaper) gaffer-taped over his head you know who sue, we are suing Emirates over a breached duty-of-care principle in a UK Small Claims court as has also been done recently successfully by a guy who lost his bags too....
